ELN: Statement to the Public
The National Urban War Front Commander in Chief Camilo Torres Restrepo of the National Liberation Army reports that:
On March 30 of this year, units of the National Urban War Front ambushed troops of the Mechanized Cavalry Group No. 5 General Hermógenes Maza of the Thirtieth Brigade Command, an organic unit of the Second Division of the National Army, who were carrying out military and intelligence activities against the civilian population at the Oripaya checkpoint. located in the township of Agua Clara, in the rural area of Cúcuta on the road that communicates with the municipality of Puerto Santander.
As a result, one soldier was killed and three more uniformed officers were wounded, including a non-commissioned officer.
This action was carried out in legitimate response to the counterinsurgency offensive ordered by President Gustavo Petro, carried out by the government army in shameless alliance with the narco-paramilitary gangs of the 33rd Front, against the communities of Catatumbo and with the false illusion of extermination of the ELN.
The National Urban War Front will continue to fight alongside the people, adhered to IHL [international humanitarian law] in defense of territories and communities.
Our units are withdrawn without incident.
¡Colombia… for workers!
¡Not one step back… Liberation or death!

Comando Central (COCE)
Colombia presiona para que juzguen al expresidente Uribe y que pague por los crímenes que comete contra la gente colombiana, pero él, amparado por el viejo régimen, ahora prosigue en su cruel campaña reorganizando a sus secuaces, para aplastar los intentos de reforma social.

Montreal doctor says NYU cancelled her presentation
A couple of the slides in her presentation touched on the casualties in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war as well as the cuts at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Liu said she was told the slides about Gaza “could be perceived as antisemitic” while the USAID section might be perceived as “anti governmental.”

Former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe “suffered an ignominious fall from grace after leaving office amidst a torrent of accusations of collusion with right-wing death squads, civilian massacres, and involvement in the country’s infamous ‘false positives’ cases— in which thousands of innocent people were killed to inflate casualty statistics during Colombia’s civil war…
Uribe is the first former president in the country’s history to face criminal charges, and if convicted could face up to 12 years in prison…
Colombia’s civil war left deep scars upon society, perhaps nowhere more evident than in its domestic justice system, where prosecutors regularly protected business interests and elite families from investigation.
That corruption runs deep and is far from corrected today. But the transparent process against Uribe, who once ruled the country, in his own words, with “an iron fist”, is a crucial step in that direction.”

ELN: Indigenous Communities in Defense of Territory
By: Elizabeth García, correspondent for Antorcha Estéreo.
On March 18 of this year, in Toribío, Cauca, at night, the ex-FARC gang unleashed a fire in a house in the Primero de Mayo neighborhood, causing the power to be cut off in the town.
Because of this, the indigenous communities supported by the Indigenous Guard, expelled this gang, since they caused fear and anguish to the inhabitants, they also arrested three members of this group who were surprised while attacking the house.
They questioned the State for its absence and lack of attention to the problems of the region. The police who were at the station a block and a half from the event did nothing about it. The inhabitants of this municipality are asking for more support for the community. This is not the first time this situation has occurred; in 2024, on October 13, the same community arrested other groups of ex-FARC bandits who were perpetrating armed harassment, making them leave the town.
The people have the right to rise up against those who oppress them and do not respect the right to life, the organized communities are the main authority in their territory, with autonomy to build their life projects and regulate coexistence. We as ELN have always respected the autonomy of indigenous communities and accompany their struggles.
